I successfully managed to install Drupal 5.x and phpBB3 and get them to share users with the phpbb module...thank you for all the help, this site was invaluable!! :D
Here's my problem (I'd appreciate any feedback as I'm fairly new to Drupal and not quite sure where to even start troubleshooting this): when you log into the Drupal site and go to the forums, the user stays logged in: great. But any navigation within the forum or links to external sites in forum posts show up fine when clicked, but it keeps the main site in the address bar.
For example, you can go to www.asdf.com and log in (Drupal is installed at the root). You then click on "Forums" from the left bar and it takes you to the phpbb3 forum. You can click on topics and individual posts and read them just fine. You can click on a link to an external site and it shows up fine. But the entire time, the address bar of the browser still says www.asdf.com. So if you click refresh it takes you back to the main page for www.asdf.com.
This is annoying for my users, as many of them like to open the forum board once and then periodically refresh to view new posts. Any ideas? (please let me know if I can provide more info/further details) TIA!

This module sure doesn't do
This module sure doesn't do anything like that. I can imagine two possibilities
1) You are using some sort of URL frame service (i.e. the domain doesn't really point to your server, but there is a frame page on your domain providers server that just displays the content of your website).
2) You're running the forum inside an iframe.
Either one would be trivial to diagnose if you provided the actual URL to the site.
Maybe not a module issue...
I checked a little further, and maybe this isn't actually an issue with the phpbb module but something in the way I have Drupal configured (and I can move my ? over to those forums if more appropriate). ANY of the left-hand navigation links on my main drupal site keep the core URL in the address bar, not just the forums one.
The site is www.thestorksnest.org.
Yeah, so if you go
Yeah, it's what I described in 1) above, if you go to
http://www.thestorksnest.org/
and do "View source" in your browser you'll see it's just an HTML frame that draws content from http://www.kingfamilyrv.com/thestorksnest
If you go directly to http://www.kingfamilyrv.com/thestorksnest it works like you would expect.
Talk to your webhost about this, it's about how you server is configured, it will be this way no matter what CMS you use.
Thank you!
OK, that makes sense...thanks!
